Heres whats coming up for the book going to sleep well have plenty to talk about here what he told me you know its tough to take a look at what all that means for the title of course. Her husband is legal every weekend here on t. W. Its a peaceful saturday afternoon in a Rural Community in botswana a sleepy Little Village but not today. Because today members of the countrys Heavy Metal Music Scene have descended on old and theyre the rock rockers in the local language of sets one of. The outfits are an integral part of the parade. And that applies in particular to the queens. I. Come from its a scene dominated by men but one in which the women are establishing themselves. Play. Yeah youre right. Botswana is often called The Garden Of Eden of africa but the Okavango Delta with its unique terrain and wildlife is a popular Tourist Destination become a hearty desert is a Semi Arid Savannah scattered scrubland it appears inhospitable but his home to a range of exotic animals and tourism diamonds and cattle the three pillars of the countrys economy the herds of cows are free to roam and grains where they please its a sign of prosperity as it always has been. For as much as people in botswana look to the future they remain rooted in tradition and that sense of tradition also affects the position of women. Queen glorious daily routine begins in less than
regal fashion getting up at quarter past five every morning female members of the more rock are called queens the title was awarded as a sign of respect even if it has nothing to do with Gender Equality as such. I think it was all about its the be the up i can all of this its not a. Thing they the man is on top and they all monies they will be close if i can remember they used to play and. They never even see come and play or play that does teach you do they still it was just the men being no men doing everything with coming out with slovenia coming up and hopefully will have a bent old man bent. Bass tell em to and then i can tell that. Indeed they are but its proved difficult for them to set up their own bands with their own front women. Botswana is
a vast country almost twice the size of germany for example but its population numbers just two million people. And queens of heavy metal only have their get togethers on a very special occasions when ludo lives in france his town a five hour drive away from queen gloria and shes busy sewing together her childhood in three days time shell be at The Rocks Ember Festival in the Capital Gaborone and wants to look her best and with botswana having no dedicated heavy metal Fashion Stores even the rivets have to be applied by hand. A concept and that some people are not tipping these how many tourists and also i do appreciate those who come up to us and tell us we look good those who accept this will be up. Against the other except that the ones that judging us. Before they get to know whether this is a book because most of them feel like its. Just to do with radiation but it doesnt tell us to do with music. Music and also a display of being selfconfident strong off.

For signature style cowboy hats leather pants and waistcoat and plenty of. Tail fluids among them the. Because. I believe feel crazy. And the way i feel. Yes if only it could yes because it is self so cool. They just cant get these days you know so this is an end of them with these you know things. Once a year the. Different backgrounds meet up at the biggest heavy metal event in the country gloria lives in my own a nine hour drive away from flora. At home shes the single mother of her son eli us. Its enough that i. Love. How i feel. That you know me. At all. That that never. Changes but thats. What. The shadow if you will. Look at that this. Isnt going to be. Women are traditionally revered as the heart of the household however the reality paints a different picture many women are the head of the household simply because they are single mothers or Women Michael Oreo The Metal Scene is an escape from their daily life. But. Yeah i made in a crazy like even if the. Is that like that you know on my little plan. That i made and so it will make me feel complete. Ten seven in the Morning Glory or sets off for work in a shared taxi while there are routes connecting the countrys towns and cities Public Transportation within urban areas is practically nonexistent. In places like malone commuters only options are shared taxis or if theyre in a rush private camps. Formally one of the poorest countries on the planet since gaining independence from britain in One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty Six bus want to has transformed itself into one of the most stable nations in africa thats also reflected in the countrys education system. Gloria Left High School with only an intermediate certificate but she managed to earn herself an office job at a Construction Company which is currently building a lodge and the nearby Okavango Delta she does not have a permanent contract and doesnt know what will happen when her contract runs out. Glorias first task every morning is to stock up on Office Supplies and make coffee shes the secretary and odd job woman must mall construction firms. Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you. Thank. You thank you. Thats. What i do feel. Like i say thank you thank. You thank. You thank you thank you thank you. Thank you the dry season here in the north of botswana lasts between six and nine months and for the boss and his staff the dry
season means the work season tourism tends to center on the four month rainy season beginning in december when the delta and its wildlife blossom. The proportion of Women Managers is continually rising in Botswana Gloria believes in the potential of women and is keen to indulge in her role as a queen of heavy metal. When it says we need this with less light it really like the whistle and the bassist in the house even at hole when i give days like days like that my ideal is they. Think it is that they think that. Glorious office job enables her to make ends meet but her labor of love is the molly rockers association a metal heads club where she can be an organizer and where she can melt off a bit of steam. For fans the world over heavy metal is an escape from the daily routine regardless of age group or profession but in botswana a country where the metal fans also face accusations of satanism takes a lot of courage and confidence to be a rock. A. Glorious nine year old son and why us finds the club a little. Later. When his moms rocker buddies are in town he prefers his books to all the police pop. Ups that it hanging out with a model and then told them that no i think we should form an association and they told me that you know we tried filming it to me just did in way because something
with pulling that side and with us it is that but we can you know those people those people and just that its with faith people and then that us can follow and thats what we did soul. As is as we started with going to help you know is our fellow brothers who is disabled and they. Make you. Like helping cleaning the. Hanging out together and people is that it that a coke and i see that the us is they say that. The needle can lead to if it Werent For The Kings of the century and theyre more Rock Alter Egos Constitute Freedom During the week theyre pretty much chained to their desks the majority of the metal heads here have nine to five office jobs working for the government. And. When they looked at data model like we. Like full cup. Yes when they came back as theyll see the same model and like they
havent done anything new that lives have done anything in these bad light they havent changed even the these guys that plays in bed. And then i say we should start something the association that will help. The ben members that will help us is not all you know. Cutting phenols. Events. Like even up to come saving or even going to. Be as affected as you know and they all those things. And that i think that sell like how how how i think these decisions will be employed and for the. Moment in. Order. To. Gloria and the other members of her club are eager to improve the image of metal heads in their town and they also do volunteer Community Work together such as picking up litter in the neighborhood. In botswana wearing black leather and listening to metal is often considered satanist their clothing and imposing appearance are often met with fear and suspicion another thing the association wants to change but gloria herself has far more ambitious plans for the club she wants to see its members learning to help themselves and each other. Tomorrow the metal heads from moaned will be traveling across the country to make their presence felt at a wedding. Gloria is also organizing the groups trip to The Rocks Ember Festival. Were. Going to. Botswana is a land of profound contrasts thats also applies to its natural terrain the calamari desert is a drive savannah. Its northern section the Okavango Delta is prone to repeated flooding at the same time droughts and desertification pose major ecological problems the country is considered relatively progressive but cattle are prized to this day as a highly profitable investment and the metal scene is likewise an enigma but swan it is one of the few african countries where percussion is not celebrated in the local folk music but its in this very country where drums play a huge role in a particular music scene and that apparent contradiction is
a major factor in the popularity of heavy metal among them are all. Frances town in the second biggest city in botswana is six hours away from mali and thats where queen Little Marina lives within the scene shes seen as the introverted but beautiful rock. Back in her fathers home shes a Carpenter Fashioning Wooden Baby cribs its a job that enables her to take care of her nine year old daughter while also going against the grain of traditional gender roles. For the for. Fifth. So. Its a woman but someone should be an example an example to all as kids kidding yourself yeah. All men should be that thats within if they maybe
keeps the if it needed to get that. A woman should be empowering yeah we should be i have a noble. Doing this kind of. Makes me feel. Powerful. It makes me feel good because im doing what i love. Im doing something that a lot of people least expected me to do so a pretty much enjoy surprising people. When it comes to them finding out that i do this because even when i go to buy the materials at the shops that one is in a. Suit who exploit who does this is my first time to see a lady in the section. She builds groups and bookshelves she discovered her
love of design while at college and the courage to try out the masculine enterprise of carpentry is something she owns to her experience as a model. Its its. Its its. And maybe that time maybe lucia will be an example to motivate of this to keep on moving weve always also a man in your life. Although one man is important in her life her father. Didnt even look that way to torres it was just after i saw some shows some folks so it was definitely her that she was sitting in for that table i had that i sit with my wife she didnt eat she flew to some places without dont even milam now this
is very good. Woods would do it. With all this and says wow. I had that thought a little more rima is a Second Generation moroc her father nylon lani sexton was a leather clad metal head back in the one Nine Hundred Eighty s. Who goes outfits are admired by her fellow queens. I go for. Style which has a. More touch also. Made of the. And then i also can go for the look to leave bay i have a lot of stats hoops to jump in here but only limited the amount and then theres also the call girl look i can also go with it. It just depends on my mood
i feel if i have to worry because this is the fear to go look if i had laid a break and go through the way look better than if i had to show something that profit to. Look. Shes not yet sure exactly which outfit shell be wearing for The Rock Summer Festival thats something shell decide together with her friend queen flora. Whats wanted is a large but sparsely populated country that also means ample space for the millions of cows and donkeys. Distances between cities are seemingly endless and contact within the rock scene relies heavily on social media every couple of months the festivals dotted around the country provide a chance for virtual friends to connect in real life it takes ludo around seven hours on the bus to travel from frances town to flora in all deep. When it rains
here Mother Nature pushes the pause button for a couple of hours and suddenly the streets are empty. The village of audi is only a forty minute drive from the capital governor on but it seems like a world away the village appears almost deserted. Queen flora lives together with her extended. Family her mother her sisters and brothers and her son she knows everyone in the community but above all everyone knows her because being a moron makes her stand out. And. The villagers are wary and skeptical toward new developments queen flora was
fourteen when she first heard of Radio Station playing the music that has given her life a new rhythm she says selfconfident and outgoing woman. The more rocks are a close knit society it takes a lot of courage to join their exclusive rights. I didnt really get to meet her yes she is dating was the first so many lovers to their life as they were that so to advocate for believe me and it never. Is there. Is no escape that you think the record is that it still is the love people have. A good deal more good for the state really believe think of what it is that they think of where did they get they have some. Heavy metal
fans around the world are used to negative stereotyping in botswana however those prejudices are so extreme that pastors at what are called Fire Churches rant and rail against the rockers some have even proposed members be subjected to an exorcism. Has a traditional lifestyle surrounded by her family her mother deplore among is the sole breadwinner. Flora and her mother also feel responsible for the children of their relatives today theyre looking after her cousins baby. Blaze may cause it. To get it gave the still been made but made it late. Fees for you cant get in to see it is it is to stay too many places to. Live the least will consume the tennis world it is going. To. Be queen noodle has now reached after a seven hour bus journey shes come to the village to prepare for the heavy Metal Festival which floor. In a few hours time the two queens will be welcoming the kings of the scene and their parade in florence. Leave. Me. If youve been tucked into facebook to bed steve never met before bed give us a good thing that means that it is easy. To get to connect with a bush is a bad test and satan is mentioned easy. If you have a missed political things because it. Is just
a then he does and he is a cunt the size and encourage the aliens in the hospital may lead to a slave give this two weeks to take to day to cubicin a quote its mason nation builds. And it is it needs to be so that a few days the lady it didnt matter if their first ever meeting is a fascinating one in the two metal queens are different in demeanor but do find similarities in the chain scene so in. A ring they have played a role. David field. Has. This small and they think shes good because they should have a stake in this. Make lots of things that shes. Busy day for the stated that he she will. Just they pass the time while waiting perfecting their outfits you can never spend too much time on your look a sizable metal head group will be arriving soon to pick them up and take them to the festival these meetings are rare occasions and are celebrated in more rock fashion. People feel. This new kid says laughing laughing. And that is that they use that time and yet they have a little in the heat. So all the expats seeing a lot of. Days in tirades. It out concedes we should hear we used to sing with a species most of us elves. That symbolism is very important to the
model its expressed in both rituals and in their attire and accessories. The morag are late the rain has brought the village to a standstill rendering the main road impassable for a few hours. Late. Then suddenly they arrive the heavy metal queens and keeps. The rough greeting is a symbol that developed after violence became a concern at gatherings the greeting is a demonstration that they come in peace and
a symbol of the camaraderie in the group. Wow. This is the first time ludo has met most of the other members in real life flora does know them personally but hasnt seen them for two years her then boyfriend gave her an ultimatum forcing her to choose between him and the local Church Congregation for the rockers. The chaps hats another cowboy accessories oh makes sense but the cowbells that some of them are up wear are meant to commemorate a time when runaway slaves were forced to wear them the more rock where the bells
to honor them and as a reference to cowboy culture. Get. On the internet. And look at it that nobody would ever want it. Then its time for the parade a core ritual of any gathering and the chance for the more rock to take center stage. Was. They struck down the road as if on a fashion show. The runway showing themselves from their best and loudest some more of consciously leaves the parade past the church tent. For how. The procession takes them all around the village
a procession that takes cues from those of the major religions it symbolizes a concentration of power. The group having flora lead the parade through her village is unprecedented and she revels in every single step along the way having a two year absence from the gatherings for her its a public affirmation of her identity for two years her boyfriend had forbidden her from meeting them on rocks or even just dawning her letters and. Flora and her music fan family are now back at her home odeon wasnt on the groups
route to the festival but they were happy to make the detour for flora. And after years of suspicion her mother has now come to accept floor of being a queen nonetheless the spectacle unfolding outside her home is pretty overwhelming im not going to be taking real. It is going to hurt if i was in jail i was out. That night then he and that were that easy as it was that. It was time so that i know that you are all of the good. Well it. Sounds like the isolated incident has enough. Now so its only really kept yelling out loud so lets say that at. Least a these children only know the people from their own very much the seemingly otherworldly visitors leave a lasting impression. People in botswana are moving rapidly away from their traditional roots and that reorientation to the modern world involves frequent culture clash. A a a. A a a. A a. A. Florist grandmother was the first to lose patience she has little understanding for her granddaughters new lifestyle. But
queen ludo sees how important it is for flora to be able to combine her two worlds. I am living there i like that with all their heart they havent seen him in what they small difference between her and was there was a. Fault close to a lot they advocate is released but we still i understand the significance. Of our queen ludo loves her cowgirl role at home shes an independent single mother but here shes happy to immerse herself in this alternative role on another one of the. A little bit longer to get there. Well but the effect is that. The Group Continues on to The Rock Summer Festival many of them have traveled huge distances to get here. But little heavy Metal Festivals take place every couple of months. Some of the bands featured have made a name for themselves outside of botswana as well such as the next evenings headliners there are a skinflint. Although not all broke but dont have all that long and all the. Two hours further North East Queen gloria and the more up association wake up in. That one but you know its out on the. Its the weekend shes been gearing up for four months the festival and go over own where the gloria laura and ludo will be meeting up now.

Model help i is a midsized town with a population of Forty Thousand located between francis town and gabber own the
countrys two biggest. Cities as everywhere else in the world weddings are a very traditional affair in botswana persia. The groom has taken quite a risk in inviting his rocker friends but me for is determined to have gloria and her friends attend his big day. His bride is not a moron. Its the first time the association has been invited to a public event. So the rockers are eager to dress to impress in morocco style of course today they will again face those prejudices about satanism. But still the group do initially enjoy an open welcome from the other wedding guests who seem curious to say the least. The metal heads pay tribute to the group live. And hes happy to see his two worlds married in harmony. The male members prefer to look for potential partners from within the group. Live fire has made an exception and his bride accepts special guests with. Not. The warm welcome extended to the rockers here is a positive sign from gloria nevertheless she leaves the festivities early in order to continue to the music festival. The kings make themselves look comfortable ill be with you all day meanwhile the guests are all equally looking forward to the wedding feast. Its only a two hour drive to cover on when youre in a car at least and in a hurry straight down highway number one. Gloria and her fellow metal heads love these road trips through the endless expanses of the savannah the drive means freedom in so many senses of the word gloria makes it too precious few festivals couple run is simply too far away from mt. Despite the searing heat. Thirty five degrees celsius in the shade and humidity in excess of ninety percent the moron transformed each stop on the road into an improvised mosh pit section. Of. The rock summer festival is held every year in the capital governor on it features three local bands with rockers congregating from all over botswana. The evening has a very special meaning for the three queens for respectively different reasons. Gloria is taking the opportunity to just enjoy herself for whats Cluedo Combines Business with pleasure managing to sell one of her custom made fans for flora it marks a return to a life shes been missing for the last two years. For europeans this might look like a regular friday night in a dingy rocker bar but for these queens of Heavy Metal Gloria Lugo in florida its the biggest event of the year.
